What does The Simpsons Treehouse of Horror XXXIV poster reveal?
The poster for Treehouse of Horror XXXIV has been released, and a copy will be given to fans attending the Comic-Con festival happening in San Diego between July 20 and 23. The release of the poster was teased by the makers on their Twitter handle, along with all the information on the booth number where they will be available.
As with the previous holiday special series, there will be three different stories leading up to Halloween. As such, fans already know that holiday specials are non-canon and do not reflect the series’ original timeline continuity. While the stories covered have not been disclosed, the poster shows glimpses of the stories up for guessing.
One of the stories seems to be a parody of The Silence of the Lambs, a 1991 movie, though Sideshow Bob is likely to be the main villain. As per the images on the poster, another story would be about Marge fighting off NFT mascots and icons. The third story could be about some kind of viral infection spreading through what looks like burps.
What else is coming up on The Simpsons?
The Simpsons season 35 is ready to hit the small screens on October 1, 2023, at 8 pm EST on the FOX channel.

The first 33 seasons can be watched in any order as per interest. However, season 34 will exclusively continue to be on Hulu until season 35 is officially introduced.
AI Jean, The Simpsons writer, is participating in the WGA strike currently ongoing in New York City and Los Angeles. While season 35 and the holiday special are not affected by the strike, nothing is known about future projects in 2024, including season 36.
